Let's go to the hop...
Here in our schools we don't have any Halloween parties.
No costume parade.
No sitting in the gym/lunch room with all the moms and dads to watch the kids run past...
It is Prosper tradition to have a party to celebrate the 50th day of school, which happens to be somewhere around the 31st of October.
And what better way to celebrate the 50's than with a sock hop?
The kids love it. It lasts ALL DAY long. Everyone greases up their hair and pulls out their poodle skirts and each class spends an hour (their PE time) in the gym going from station to station (there are 9 of them), playing games, squealing and having fun.
We have 2 blow ups outside, a bounce house and a HUGE slide.
There is a bubble blowing contest....
A car race....
There are also relay races at the car hop, a drag race, bowling, a bean bag toss, a football toss, knock over the cans, and Beauty school drop-out tattoos.
Friends!
and FUN!
And here is a blast from the past, last year's before school picture:
And this years:
My, how we've all grown!!
It's kindof funny that we can't have a "Halloween Celebration" but we spend the whole day dressed up and hand out lemonade, popcorn and prizes and play games!
Aliza was a baby.
Maris went to pick it up, only to find that they don't carry them in the store, they have to FedEx it to you. She gave us a 10% discount, and charged us $36.00 to mail it.
Parker makes a beautiful little girl. If the whole football thing doesn't work out, he could try out to be a cheerleader:

K, another long boring post...gotta get everything done before the pep rally at 2:15, Ty's game at 5, Parker's practice at 6...and then my mom's plane comes in at 8:18!
